An insider is hiding amongst you, sabotaging you at every turn and collecting secret information along the way. In this (mostly) cooperative trick-taking card game, you slip into undercover roles. Who is acting suspiciously? Who can you trust? Complete a mission with each trick and find out who is the insider. A (mostly) cooperative trick-taking card game for groups of three to five players. Each player assumes the role of secret agent tasked with various missions, except there’s one insider hiding amongst you, ready to thwart your efforts!
